Hello! I'm Nasrin Abdollahi, a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University, where I work as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Vazquez Research Group under the supervision of Dr. Abraham Vázquez-Guardado.
My research focuses on plasmonics, nano-optics, photonics, electromagnetics, optical nanotweezers and nanoparticle trapping. I am especially interested in designing photonic and plasmonic platforms for biosensing and translational optical applications.
My current work combines theoretical analysis, electromagnetic simulations, optical force calculations and nanoparticle trapping studies. My research goal is to develop dynamic optical systems and on-chip plasmonic platforms that can support future biomedical and sensing applications.
I received my M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Shiraz University (Pahlavi), where my thesis focused on metasurface-assisted horn antenna design. I also received my B.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Shiraz University (Pahlavi), where my thesis focused on plasmonic waveguide structures for solar-cell performance.
Outside my research, I enjoy traveling, hiking, watching movies and scientific documentaries, and playing volleyball.
